External equipment connection management system compatible with various hardware interface specifications and hardware communication protocols

Abstract

The invention discloses an external equipment connection management system compatible with various hardware interface specifications and hardware communication protocols. The external equipment connection management system comprises an equipment registration module and an equipment connection management module; the equipment registration module is used for realizing registration of external devices requesting to be connected with an upper computer, defining an alias for each external device, generating a device descriptor and associating the alias with the device descriptor, wherein the device descriptor comprises a communication protocol and an access address of the external device; and a protocol library is packaged in the equipment connection management module, and the equipment connection management module is used for obtaining an equipment descriptor corresponding to the alias of the external equipment from the equipment registration module based on a connection request of the external equipment, and creating a connection session between the upper computer and the external equipment by using the packaged protocol library according to information obtained by analyzing the equipment descriptor. By providing a unified management and control interface for the external equipment, the compatibility and applicability of the upper computer to the external equipment are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the communication field, and in particular relates to an external device connection management system compatible with various hardware interface specifications and hardware communication protocols. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of computer and information technology, there are more and more types and functions of external devices that need to be connected to the computer. The hardware interface of the host computer to connect external devices has gradually developed from the traditional serial port to USB bus, GPIB bus, Ethernet bus, etc. The control of external devices, data collection, etc. all need to implement a software protocol on the hardware interface for transmission, so a variety of protocols and interfaces have gradually evolved. [0003] In industrial development and academic research, various instruments and equipment are often integrated into a complex network, and computers need to be used fo...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Due to the wide variety of hardware interfaces, device drivers developed based on various hardware interfaces emerge in endlessly, but when you actually use them, you will find that the management of driver interfaces for various instruments and equipment is chaotic.

When implementing software control, code redundancy is wasted, and it is difficult to achieve compatibility and applicability
